&#40;750ml bottle, thanks hopscotch&#41; Swiftly diminishing white head atop cloudy lemon body. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange, yeast, some wood, lemon. Taste is medium sweet, yeast, lemon, light wood. Light-medium body, some crispness.

Creamed yellow appearance, small white ring. Bready coriander soup in the nose. Oxidized, cardboardy with a sharp acidity. Vegetal, plasticy, lasting gross aftertaste. Defaults after defaults are unveiled by this one. Poor sharp metallic finish. Education has a price..

750ml bottle. Poured a medium and hazy yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of yeast, bananas, spices, and lemon peels. Tastes of tart green apples, yeast, spices, and lemons. I was really into the tartness. We opened up a bottle of the JP Calabaza Blanca to compare &#40;bottled on 3/2005&#41;. Big difference. The JP was clear and golden with more of an orange vs lemon and not tart at all.

Slightly hazy pale golden pour has a frothy lacing white head. Mild aroma of slightly bready Belgian yeast and lemon peel. Body starts with a light citric tartness and good sweet pale malty balance with effervescent carbonation and a smooth lightly tart finish. An enjoyable and unique witbier.
